Draklor's Very Own

...

I've heard that you die twice.

Once when your heart stops beating, another when people say your name for the last time.

My dad always said that a more permanent death for any human being was being forgotten, not just dying itself. The way we become immortal... is to be remembered.

To have our name not be forgotten.

Because we pass stories, names, memories down to our children, and they pass on the story to theirs, and then onwards.

They write the name down in notebooks, on slips of paper stuck into a book on some forlorn shelf until someone picks it up again, continues the story. Names go from reality into story, story into myth, myth into legend, and you are remembered, in some small way.

The one hope a parent has is that they're important enough to their children to be spoken about even after they're gone.

We are mortal and weak on our own.

But we are immortal and powerful together. Because, if one person forgets... even if someone forgets or moves on someone else will remember.

I will always remember my grandfather. And Sandra. And my great-grandmother, and Mr. Streeter.

We've revamped the blog a bit.

We're still working on the theme, but for now I've changed a few things; I deleted over three hundred posts from my blog that I no longer wanted here, and I am still working on deleting more. I have eight drafts in my draft box-those tagged will need to contact me if they wish to continue that thread. I am, however, revamping the muse some.

We are starting off from a new point and new perspective-this Cid is based post-FFXII timeline, in Archades. I will be doing most interactions there. It is assumed that is where the muse is at this moment, as he's working on a plan to help his son. Our 'canon', main timeline is going to line up best it can with thewarprivateer's [if you don't mind, of course] and those they interact with. I am limiting myself to:

Final Fantasy-related blogs

OCs and canon are BOTH welcome, as well as AU

I will NOT roleplay with anyone out of fandom. Later we may revamp our ideas for the FFVII AU, but for right now we're sticking with what we know best.

I may do a complete overhaul and delete all my old posts. It's a shame, but I feel we need to restart, rethink, and rework our ideas a bit more cleanly.

If you convince me I will try to interact with your muse, but right now, we're being selective.

I have also unfollowed and then refollowed each of my followers, as to clear out dead and/or unrelated blogs.

Do not be alarmed when you see we followed you again.

I'm hoping this kicks my ass in gear and helps me be better about replying to plots in-progress and threads I did not even halfway complete with some rather lovely people. I will be working on the theme, editing posts, and replying to drafts as people instruct me to of whether or not they wish to continue RPing that thread.
